Wedge Wheels

[wedgemaniac456]

Anybody know what other wheels fit wedges I once saw a 280 with merc wheels on.Just wondered what off set and stud pattern the wedges have maybe jag/ford?.

5 stud, 112mm PCD, I think the offset on my std 350 15"ers is 23mm

Same PCD can be found on Ford Granada, Galaxy and on Merc wheels.

You need to watch for the offset though.

Don't know about the offset, but according to an old guide I have, cars with
5 on 112 PCD are -

Audi - 5000 Turbo, Quattro '86-'87
Mazda - RX7 GSL '86-'87
Mercedes - all '77-'89
VW - Transporter, Vanagon '71-'89

if that helps any ....

Hubs are originally Ford Granada Mk II(Europe).

(If they are 4.5 inch imperial PCD, then there's a much bigger list...)

Yep, 112PCD.

Looked into this myself briefly, as going to 16" wheels opens tyre choice up a lot (I've decided to stick with the origianl 15" lattice wheels as mine are in great shape).
112PCD, seems to be used by a lot of German cars (not surprising, as Mk2 Granada was German!), hence you'll find a lot of VW/Audi/Mercedes/Porsche wheels share the same PCD.

Might be worth looking at some Porsche Boxster 16" alloys. Semingly all the Porsche guys want to ditch the 16's, hence there's loads on e-bay for not a lot of cash.

From an aesthetic viewpoint though, I think the factory got it pretty much spot on. There's not much else which looks 'right' on a wedge in my humble opinion.

Don't know if you can get 'em in England or not but Voxx makes an model called the MG1,2 and 3. They make 'em in different sizes but like was stated going with 16s really opens up modern tire choices. Mine have a 23mm offset and fit nearly perfectly. Look very good with the wedge look.
